Look, aside from child molestation....woman battery must be on the top of my list as one of the most all time lowest things a man can do.

I have been hearing alot as of late, of young men POUNDING their girlfreinds into dust.
First of all, it is sick and disgusting....

If you know of any battered young women, you must contact the crisis centre and speak to Dr. Sandra Dean-Patterson.

Even at the expense of you getting personally involved, which all matters will be kept confidential...you must expose these beast's and help our young women.

I agree that hitting woman is a cowardly act and far more common that we would like to believe.

You know, it's very important that we do have a crisis centre with professionals dealing with abused women/men.

I think everyone knows or heard of at least one abused person. It is so critical how you deal and get personally involved in these situations. It's dangerous for the woman/man plus you as well. Those battered persons leave when they good and ready, so the best thing to do is to rely the information to them (not on a piece of paper for the abuser to find) and let them decide to contact the centre.

It seems as if every week, I am hearing of a spousal abuse.
This really is getting out of corntol again.

What is even more disturbing, is that in this enlightened age, women are still afraid to come forward, and people are afraid to speak up and help.

Yes, people are afraid because in many cases the abuser threatens more bodily harm/death to the woman/man. You can go to the centre to expose the abuser for that person but what good does that do unless the person goes there themseleves?

You have to encourage and support the person until they are ready to leave for good.

Good. One day it will kick in, when she is in the hospital suffering from severe beatings!
It allways kicks in.

It does kick in but not for her at least not yet she has been suffering in the hospital a few times but she is not ready. We try to support her as best as we can.

One day she it will.
When she realizes she has total support, and economic support to move on.

I think that is a major factor to why women stay...
Taking a beating is a lot better than you and your kids starving. This is what some women have to decide.

This is truly a sad situation.
I know a lady who gets abused on a consistent basis and despite the hospital visits, open shame and encouragement to leave she refuses to get help because she does not want anyone to think her marriage is not working.
I told my friend if this keeps up it will one day be him or her and that is the reality of spousal abuse.

Yeh, this indeed is the rationale for some women. The thing is that any woman who feels she should be abused on the outside has more than likely been abused or scarred on the inside in some way or another.

Apart from the very real fear many of the women live under, there is something in her that is making her feel she cant do any better, its her fault, she has to stay, she can change this person.

I've spoken to police officers who say prosecuting abuse crimes is difficult sometimes because the woman would come in an file a complaint, but when its time to take the case to court she withdraws..

And far as justice is concerned too..what many people might not know is that many abusers in this country are police officers. I've got lawyer friends who tell me how bad it is with wife and girlfriend beaters on the force -who do THOSE women go to for justice??

It is so prominent in The Bahamas...I am glad she made it out alive. It's also a good thing to have a Crisis Centre but I tell you the minute a guy hits me I throwing hot grits on him at night when he alseep...I need to blind him before he gets me.

Another touchy subject for me.

I don't agree with spousal abuse at all.

But that doesn't mean that there is never ever ever a reason to hit a woman. If she talk about my mother or grandmother yall may as well send me to jail cuz I'll beat her retarded.
